You can read it online or download or buy a paper copy. There is an
interesting review of the history of the terms and tracing the
emergence of identification of humans by their biological
characteristics, like finger prints, and their relationship to the
field of statistics and eugenics through the work of Galton. Fascinating.
As an aside, I stumbled across this site, www.nap.edu as a free
source of academic papers and monographs. Worth browsing.

Sooner or later, I hate to break it to you, you're gonna die, so how
do you fill in the space between here and there? It's yours. Seize your space.
